Just as they were about to strike him, and with only a few feet to go, the air trembled.
Suddenly, a shield of light red up in front of Gilmore.
Adorned with golden rune symbols and emitting a mysterious energy, this screen of light wrapped
around Gilmore in aplete circle, cocooning him as if the golden rune symbols themselves were
warding off any harm.
The next moment, the Ice Venerable Master and the eight Ice Kings, with all their might behind their
palms, struck the luminous barrier surrounding Gilmore.
A sizzling sound filled the air, and wisps of smoke began to rise.
Their palms seemed to have hit an iron te heated red–hot, the golden symbols searing their flesh
until it was indistinguishable.
Agony forced screams from their lips, a chorus of pain, “Ahh!”
As their cries echoed, the shield burst forth with a formidable force, sending the Ice Venerable
Master and hispany flying backward.
With a thunderous roar, the nine figures crashed through a series of mountains.
The impact was so fierce that it sliced the peaks in half like a de through butter, and a great
cloud of dust enveloped the mountain range, billowing into the sky.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Momentster, figures emerged from the settling dust, soaring into the air.
It was the Ice Venerable Master and the eight Ice Kings, though now they were in a sorry state.
up in such a sorry state.
Their hair was disheveled, their faces ashen, and their expressions twisted in barely endured pain.
Gilmore looked at their disheveled figures and said, “Just now, you attacked me and ended
“Do you still wish to continue the fight?
“Let me give you a word of caution, if I make a move, you’ll only have one chance to respond.
“It’s in your best interest not to force my hand a second time. Otherwise, you’ll all end
up dead.”
The Ice Venerable Master and the eight Ice Kings had not anticipated that their full–force attack
would not only fail to graze Gilmore’s clothes but would also get them blown away by the shield.
They had no doubts about the veracity of Gilmore’s words.
But even so, they saw no other option but to fight to the bitter end.
“Even in death, we shall fight on!” bellowed the Ice Venerable Master in rage, beforeunching
another full–powered assault On Gilmore.
The eight Ice Kings followed suit.
Watching the nine adversaries stilling at him relentlessly, Gilmore could only shake his head in
resignation.
Then, in a blink, he vanished.
His figure flickered like a phantom, here one moment and there the next, elusive as a shadow.
But wherever the unpredictable Gilmore moved, the sound of his palms striking was like thunder,
relentless and booming.
And with each resounding p, there followed a chorus of agonized screams.
The Ice Venerable Master and the eight Ice Kings plummeted towards the mountain below like kites
with broken strings.
Immediately, dozens of warriors from the ice n soared into the air, caught them, and thennded
on a mountain peak.
Afternding, the Ice Venerable Master and the eight Ice Kings were deathly pale.
They seemed extremely weak and in pain, quickly asking to beid down on the ground.
Then, they promptly sat cross–legged and closed their eyes to heal. But their eyes soon snapped
open, filled with unspeakable despair.
Just as they attempted to circte their core energy to heal, they found to their horror that there was
no trace of core energy left in them.
In other words, their cultivation power had beenpletely stripped away.
They realized that in the aerial confrontation, Gilmore had stealthily and swiftly crippled their
cultivation.
The shock was indescribable, and they were seething with a fierce desire to retaliate against
Gilmore.
Just then, with a whoosh, Gilmore’s figure appeared above the mountain. Looking at the Ice
Venerable Master, he said, “Venerable master, although I’ve stripped away your cultivation, I didn’t
n to kill you.
O follow mymands, not only will your If you and the eight Ice Kings, along with all the warriors
of the ice n, a n survive, but I can also ensure that the Golden Tower Empire will not cause
your extinction.”
Hearing this, it would be a lie to say that the Ice Venerable Master and hispanions weren’t
tempted.
They were at the end of their rope, powerless asmbs to the ughter without their cultivation.
Now, even clinging to life was a luxury, let alone protecting the Ice n.
With the survival and future of the entire ice n at stake, the Ice Venerable Master began to
reconsider.
His own death was a minor affair, but if the Ice n were to be extinguished because of him, he
would never rest in
peace.
So, with a piercing gaze, the Ice Venerable Master looked at Gilmore and asked sharply, “Is
everything you’ve said true?” Gilmore dered, “When a man gives his word, it’s set in stone.
The Ice Venerable Master knew full well that for someone with Gilmore’s strength, taking their lives
would be a walk in the park.
So, there was no doubting the truth behind Gilmore’s words.
Therefore, with newfound respect, the Ice Venerable Master addressed Gilmore more politely, “Mr.
Reed, what exactly do you
wish us to do?”
Since their intention was to ensure the survival of the ice n, the Ice Venerable Master couldn’t
help but speak more

courteously, now referring to Gilmore as ‘Mr. Reed:

Gilmore replied, “I want you to forge a pact of evesting peace with the Emperor of the Golden
Tower Empire.”
The words were barely out before the Ice Venerable Master and the eight Ice Kings almost couldn’t
believe their ears.
To make an eternal peace pact with the Emperor of the Golden Tower Empire?
The idea was unthinkable.
The ice n and the human race of the Golden Tower Empire had been at each other’s throats for
eons.
Other than the desire to annihte each other, peace had never been an option.
It was an age–old feud.
Yet now, Gilmore was asking them to sign a peace treaty with the Emperor that wouldst forever.
To them, it felt as unreal as a dream.
Despite their astonishment, the Ice Venerable Master agreed, “Very well, I ept!”
The eight Ice Kings were also disheartened.
At this moment, their fighting spirit had all but vanished.
Besides, if forging a peace treaty could spare their n from destruction, it was undoubtedly in their
best interest.
Back in the pce, Huston, Amy, Yacouba, Lilian, ire, and the otherdies all gazed into the
distance.
They were all awaiting Gilmore’s return, each of them worried that something might have happened
to him.
Just then, a burst of purple light appeared, making its way toward the pa.
